“When should my kids learn about AI?” 🎒 On this episode of 𝘙𝘢𝘪𝘴𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘒𝘪𝘥𝘴 𝘪𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘈𝘨𝘦 𝘰𝘧 𝘈𝘐, we answer questions from parents about AI. Whether it’s developing everyday habits to build critical thinking or setting clear boundaries for schoolwork, Alex and Dr. Aliza explain how to help your kids become AI-ready — fluent with AI tools, appropriately skeptical, and proud of their own human advantage. One consistent insight was that AI readiness is a vital skill for all kids to learn, in a manner that’s appropriate for their age and education level.  The best way to ensure that is to help educators and parents also become well-versed in the mechanics and ethics surrounding AI technology. 🎧 Listen to our latest episode now:   • YouTube: https://lnkd.in/gfWg9XfG   • Spotify: https://lnkd.in/g8qbZBVz   • Apple Podcasts: https://lnkd.in/gJqut9vk

Our very own Alex Kotran was featured on a CBS News segment that highlighted the work happening in a classroom in Queens, NY. In the piece, Meg Oliver explores how some teachers are returning to handwritten, in-class essays to prevent AI-assisted work. Alex reframes this as an opportunity to embed AI-ready teaching and learning rather than an opportunity to get more ‘widgets’ into classrooms. Watch the full segment here: https://lnkd.in/g6X6YK6h
